Hello all, I have a spreadsheet that was created using excel 2003, I try to
open it using excel 2007 and a password prompt appears. I know what the
password is, but how can I remove the password prompt on opening the file? I
don't want it password protected anymore.

Thanks in advance.

Try this:

Open the File using the password.

Then, click on the Microsoft Office button and click "Save As".

When the "Save As" dialog box appears, click on the "Tools" button which is
on the lower left of the dialog box.

Click "General Options".

Delete the password and click on "OK".

Finally, click on "Save" (make sure you have the desired drive and folder).

The file should now be saved without a password.

I hope this helps.

Good Luck.
 
That worked.

Thank you.
